This guy bases it all off one quote, which he interprets incorrectly. Heupel wasn't saying the constraint to need winning is one you put on yourself. He was saying the time constraint (how long it takes to get to winning) is one you put on yourself. He's saying we can win whenever we decide to...

This is your real point - you value a person's redemption more than animal life. Not a person's life. Not a person's body. A person's redemption. Here's where you're wrong, or at least make all sorts of wrong assumptions. First, your premise and conclusion just don't fit. Saying the punishment...

Others have tried to explain it to you, but you seem like you don't get it. You're making a comparison between the value of animal life vs the value of human life. The only problem is you're making a false comparison. What is at stake is not physical harm done to a human. What is at stake is...

Mmkay. Let's check the tape. You said: "It is incredibly short sighted and negligent to have hired Heupel without him having a DC ready to go?" Did you mean that JH should have had a DC ready to go? Meaning that JH should have reached out to whatever DC he wanted, got a verbal confirmation...

It sounds a lot like you think they should have hired a DC before hiring a HC. That feels a little backwards to me. And, if we conceded that the right move is to hire a HC first, then what does it matter how hard hiring a DC ends up being? It isn't like it would have been easier to hire them...

Your memory is not very good. See the earlier post, on this same inane subject, where those coaches were all approached in the ****-show following Schiano Sunday. They didn't want to come here after the whole thing was on fire. I bet a bunch of those coaches don't say no if they were approached...

So, let me get this straight. Your argument is that only high buyouts go to coaches who sign at schools no one wants to go to. Jimbo Fisher has $68M buyout at A&M. Does that mean no one wanted to have that job? You might have some bias, or something that makes it hard to accept and understand...

You have two job offers: (1) $450,000. 10 years. You get 70% of remaining unpaid salary if terminated (i.e. with 1,000,000 left to pay, you get $700,000). (2) $480,000. 10 years. You get nothing if terminated. Which one do you take? When you are looking at hiring people at that level, the...

Just read this... 9 college football coach buyouts, ranked by inexplicability You're wrong. That's how buyouts work. They are a percentage of the outstanding contract balance, usually. They go down after time, and the full balance of the contract is paid down. They also get cut when the...

Coming back to clarify more stuff. He's making 5 times more than his previous salary, maybe. But, he's the 26th highest paid coach - indicating his salary isn't egregious, or even particularly high. What's your actual complaint? Buy outs are to protect the employee in case of termination. I...

This is a typical clause in a CEO contract: (a) General. If Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, including death, disability, discharge by the Employer, or resignation by Executive, Executive shall be entitled to receive and the Employer shall cause to be paid any earned but...

How do you even get to that conclusion? Every coach, in every conference, on every team, has a buyout. Every professional player, on every team, in every sport, has a buyout. Every CEO, for every company, has a buyout. Most high level employees sign employment contracts that specify damages...

This happens in almost every very high paying job with an employment contract. It happens in every sport, and in every major corporate boardroom. When you fire a CEO, you have to pay the balance of the contract, or some agreed upon sum. It really isn't that rare.

I understand the sentiment. Here's my issue with it: Everyone is talking like Pruitt doesn't agree. Who says that he doesn't think he can win with these kids? His comment has been that he needs kids that want to do it the right way. They could be recruited by any coach, on any team, at any time...
